Problems and Solutions in Quantum Mechanics


Book Description

This collection of solved problems corresponds to the standard topics covered in established undergraduate and graduate courses in Quantum Mechanics. Problems are also included on topics of interest which are often absent in the existing literature. Solutions are presented in considerable detail, to enable students to follow each step. The emphasis is on stressing the principles and methods used, allowing students to master new ways of thinking and problem-solving techniques. The problems themselves are longer than those usually encountered in textbooks and consist of a number of questions based around a central theme, highlighting properties and concepts of interest. For undergraduate and graduate students, as well as those involved in teaching Quantum Mechanics, the book can be used as a supplementary text or as an independent self-study tool.




Problems in Quantum Mechanics


Book Description

242 solved problems of several degrees of difficulty in nonrelativistic Quantum Mechanics, ranging from the themes of the crisis of classical physics, through the achievements in the framework of modern atomic physics, down to the still alive, more intriguing aspects connected e.g. with the EPR paradox, the Aharonov--Bohm effect, quantum teleportation.




Problems in Classical and Quantum Mechanics


Book Description

This book is a collection of problems that are intended to aid students in graduate and undergraduate courses in Classical and Quantum Physics. It is also intended to be a study aid for students that are preparing for the PhD qualifying exam. Many of the included problems are of a type that could be on a qualifying exam. Others are meant to elucidate important concepts. Unlike other compilations of problems, the detailed solutions are often accompanied by discussions that reach beyond the specific problem.The solution of the problem is only the beginning of the learning process--it is by manipulation of the solution and changing of the parameters that a great deal of insight can be gleaned. The authors refer to this technique as "massaging the problem," and it is an approach that the authors feel increases the pedagogical value of any problem.




QUANTUM MECHANICS


Book Description

Quantum mechanics is an important area of physics and students of ten find it 'tough' from the understanding point of view. By providing 500 problems with their solutions, Professor Aruldhas, with his expertise in and long experience of teaching the subject, makes the students comprehend the fundamental concepts of Quantum Mechanics with ease. This problem book provides a thorough understanding of the subject and its applications to various physical and chemical problems. The text includes typical problems that illustrate the concepts. It is self-explanatory, comprehensive, and user-friendly. Key Features : Gives, in the beginning of each chapter, an outline of the theory required for solving problems. Includes problems from the simple plug-ins to increasing order of difficulty to strengthen the student's understanding of the subject. Provides many mathematical steps to make the book user-friendly. Gives solutions of problems with different types of potentials including the Dirac delta function potential. Both undergraduate and postgraduate students of physics and chemistry as well as those preparing for the Joint CSIR-UGC test for JRF and other competitive examinations should find this book extremely practical and valuable.




Molecular Quantum Mechanics


Book Description

This text unravels those fundamental physical principles which explain how all matter behaves. It takes us from the foundations of quantum mechanics, through quantum models of atomic, molecular, and electronic structure, and on to discussions of spectroscopy, and the electronic and magnetic properties of molecules.




Quantum Mechanics


Book Description

This is a companion volume to the textbook Quantum Mechanics: A Fundamental Approach by the author. The manual starts with simple mathematical and physical terms before moving on to more complex concepts, which are developed gradually but in detail. It contains more than 240 exercises and problems listed at the end of the chapters in Quantum Mechanics and presents full solutions to all these exercises and problems, which are designed to help the reader master the material in the primary text. This mastery will contribute greatly to understanding the concepts and formalism of quantum mechanics, including probability theory for discrete and continuous variables, three-dimensional real vectors, symmetric and selfadjoint vectors, operators in a Hilbert space, operations on vectors, N-dimensional complex vector spaces, direct sums and tensor products of Hilbert spaces and operators, canonical quantisation, time evolution, pure and mixed states, many-particle systems, harmonic and isotropic oscillators, angular momenta, and particles in a static magnetic field, among others.




Problems in Quantum Mechanics


Book Description

Many students find quantum mechanics conceptually difficult when they first encounter the subject. In this book, the postulates and key applications of quantum mechanics are well illustrated by means of a carefully chosen set of problems, complete with detailed, step-by-step solutions. Beginning with a chapter on orders of magnitude, a variety of topics are then covered, including the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's equation, angular momentum, the hydrogen atom, the harmonic oscillator, spin, time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory, the variational method, multielectron atoms, transitions and scattering. Throughout, the physical interpretation or application of certain results is highlighted, thereby providing useful insights into a wide range of systems and phenomena. This approach will make the book invaluable to anyone taking an undergraduate course in quantum mechanics.
